Hello,
Can anyone recover DWG files? I open the file through AutoCad 2011, and writes "the file of the drawing is damaged"! Who can restore if the .bak file isn't available? Only .dwg! sad. Through the recovery Manager in general it is impossible. The file was created in AutoCad 2007.

To insert the file as the link or the block.
It is possible to try to insert into the new file "damaged" as the external link or the block.
To insert a file as an external reference:
  • on the menu bar, go to Insert - the Link to DWG and to choose the necessary file;
  • enter the command _.xref and select the desired file.

To insert a file as a block:
  • on the menu bar, go to Insert - Block and choose the file;
  • enter the command _.insert and select the desired file.

You files are corrupted, hence they cannot be recovered.

Sorry
